There are over 2880 individuals who publicly question the failed HIV/AIDS theory, including 600+ with PhDs and 300+ with MDs, including one of the scientists who created the original "HIV" tests, Dr. Rodney Richards, and the Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Dr. Kary Mullis, who discovered PCR, which is used for the so-called viral load tests.

See the documentary "House of Numbers" for more.

"The key is finding efficiencies and the best bang for the buck."

Yes! Now please perform this miracle in an American health care system that makes this almost impossible.

Charlie, I am getting mixed messages on this end of the screen.

This interview: Tsunami of diabetes and obesity.

Other interviews: we are going to live to 90 and we all need a million-five to retire and social security should start in the seventies.

So are we slowly dying from our diet and lack of exercise or are we all so healthy that everyone will run out of money before they can die?

BENEZRAA, I'll stand by the metaphor. Needless to say the slow, painful, and debilitating death from chronic disease that are typically years in the making can not be compared to the horrific conditions and circumstances of the holocaust (which defy description). But in the sense of how much sickness, suffering, and death has resulted in total and the callous disregard - I would call it inhuman disregard - for the consequences are certainly on the same ultimate scale.

Perhaps it is easier to see the point in terms of the tobacco industry which spent years denying any harm when they knew full well the death they were dealing in.

The fact that over 100 millions people are sick - half the American people suffer from "lifestyle" caused chronic conditions largely involving addictive additives and manipulative marketing targeting children, and millions die each year (more then any other cause) from these conditions puts these purveyors of death on a par with any tyrant.

That a coke or fast food will not make you sick in a single serving does not make it any less poisonous. A low dose of radiation will not kill you but repeated exposure over time will make you sick and ultimately kill you and you would find it criminal if you knew someone was intestinally inflicting you with such a dose. Certainly it is the cumulative impact of the overall diet. in this regard it serves as an excuse to avoid responsibility by the food industry and shift the blame to “personal responsibility”. It is the insidious nature of the “attack’ that makes it all the more dangerous because we are made desensitized to the underlying implication .

If an enemy put a slow acting poison into your water supply, I am sure you would want them found and hung. Why is it okay to put it in your food simply because they make it taste “good” and call it food. You can call it what you want but it is still poison and the purveyors know exactly what they are causing.

The holocaust was the result of years of people looking the other way. The question is how much longer are we?

THE COCA-COLA HOLOCAUST?

With all due respect, zb1, there is such a thing as pushing and analogy a bit to far. It may be true that in some areas the food choices available may be limited to the freedom to choose Mickey D's or similar fast food venues. Thankfully there is a movement across the country to change that status quo by creating alternative healthier choices and even by the quality upgrades taking place at fast food venues. But I'll warrant that any Mickey D's would have been a welcome choice in the concentration camps.

Much of the show was about the obesity pandemic and the related health crisis of chronic disease. Dr. Piot appropriately enough called it a "Tsunami". Obviously he is well qualified to speak on these matters and there is none better then Mr. Rose to interview him.

What was stunning and disturbing about the show came when it was over and Coca-Cola was announced as a major sponsor of the program.

To me that was like interviewing Elie Wiesel – the famed holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter – about the holocaust and finding at the end the show was sponsored by the same company that provided the gas for gas chambers.

No single company is responsible for our obesity driven health crisis that is killing millions of people, but if any one company can be said to represent the very worst of what this crisis is about, certainly the beverage industry, with Coca-Cola as its dominate force has to be considered the poster board for eating and drinking ourselves to death.

The company that manufactured the gas used in the Nazi gas chambers to kill millions of people was not the cause of the holocaust any more then the workers that built the ovens in which the bodies were burned; or brick company from which they were assembled; or the trainmen who transported them to the death camp; or the soldiers following orders that fought on behalf of Germany; or the business leaders that supported Hitler’s rise to power; or the people who voted him in to power; or the newsmen who had ceased reporting the news. No they were not individually responsible for the holocaust, but all of them collectively by their indifference were responsible for it.

Somehow or other we have legitimized killing our children and each other using slow acting addictive poison labeled as food and incessant manipulative marketing. Somehow, we have made it okay for our politicians to take money from these murders and think nothing of it. And apparently it is also now okay for some of our finest journalists to do the same.

When we look at the causes of this "Tsunami” that is killing millions, we only have to look as far as ourselves.
